I am the man you want. You don't know your luck when you see it, but I know mine, I do and look here " He touched Carter's chest with his forefinger, and said with a sudden gentleness of tone: "I am a white man inside and out; I won't let inoffensive people and a woman, too come to harm if I can help it.
